This is why I'm running for reelection as Commissioner.

​

Since 2022, I have been honored to serve District 1 and Carroll County.

​

In that time, we've balanced budgets in difficult times

with no property or income tax increases.

​

We've unfailingly supported our Sheriff's Department and law enforcement.

​

We've stood up to corporations and projects like the MPRP powerlines, protecting the rights of Carroll County citizens.

​

We've continued to oversee the implementation of the Department of Fire and Emergency Services, and support of our volunteer fire companies.

​​

We've surpassed 80,000 acres of agriculturally preserved land, protecting farms, the land, and our heritage.

​​

We've pushed back against state overreach and worked with our Delegation to oppose harmful legislation in Annapolis.

​

We've increased funding for education and the school system.

​​​​

We've strengthened relationships and grown partnerships with our towns.

​

​We've reformed government processes, cut back on spending, and streamlined operations.​

​

I love being able to help where I can, whether it is attending events, supporting small businesses, advocating for good causes and local groups, and more.

​

In my work, I believe that honor, civility, convictions, and hard work are vital in elected office, and are as important as the issues at hand.

​

I am not perfect. I know enough to know I don't know everything.

I'm not afraid to ask questions and seek answers, or to be the only one who

takes a stand on critical issues.

​

I always try to follow my conscience, and try to do what is right.

​

It's all for home.

​

​

​

​As for me, personally:

​

I'm Roman Catholic. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.

​

I am a proud American, and a conservative Republican.

​

I'm a graduate of Mount Saint Mary's University, where I studied

history, political science, and philosophy.

​

I previously served on the Taneytown City Council, including in the position of Mayor Pro Tem.

​

I currently work as a writer and graphic designer. In the past, I've worked in retail and in home improvement/contracting.

​

And, of course, I have two pups - Frankie and Maddie!
